Getting markup aligned to the bottom of the last page

[Frank Steinmetzger]

Hello Group

I am trying to add a descriptive text to the end of a score. I tried reading 
the snipped for a title page¹ and how this accomplishes it, but even after a 
couple of years of using lilypond, I still didn't manage to grasp scheme. It's 
just too weird. *duckandhide*

So I tried the Microsoft Word approach: just push everything down by newlines. 
I have between-system-padding set to 0 and enabled ragged-last-bottom. So on 
the last page I created some extra spacing between its two systems by adding a 
column to one of the lyrics syllables (marked as a red box in the screenshot).

annote-spacing tells me that there is lots of room left (11.72). But even if I 
add just one more line to the lyrics column as it is seen in the screenshot, 
the entire text below the system is put onto the next page.

I found out that I can prevent the latter problem by specifying a page-count, 
but that’s only a workaround. So the question is: what is the proper way to 
add some markup text and bottom-align it? (in a naïve way of thinking: add an 
auto-stretching vertical spacer between the score and the markup)

Thanks for some insight.
